Passover, also called Pasch () or Pesach (; Biblical Hebrew: חַג הַפֶּסַח, romanized: Ḥag Ha‑Pesaḥ, lit.

Nisan (; Hebrew: נִיסָן [niˈsan] ) or Nissan (; from Akkadian: 𒁈 Nissāni) is the month of the barley ripening and the first month of spring in the Babylonian and Hebrew calendars. The name of the month is an Akkadian borrowing, although it is ultimately derived from Sumerian nisag 'first fruits'. In the Hebrew calendar, it is the first month of the ecclesiastical year, called the "first of the months of the year" (Exodus 12:1-2), "first month" (Ex 12:14), and the month of Aviv (Ex 13:4; בְּחֹ֖דֶשׁ הָאָבִֽיב ḥōḏeš hāʾāḇîḇ). It is called Nissān in the Book of Esther. It is a month of 30 days. In the year 2025 CE, 1 Nisan occurred on 30 March. Counting from 1 Tishrei, the civil new year, it w…
